Estée Lauder knows how to throw a party and with several of the world’s loveliest models on their roster and a slew of exciting new launches set to debut, there is plenty to celebrate. Creative director, Aerin Lauder and Global Brand President Jane Hertzmark Hudis unveiled new products to an audience of beauty enthusiasts including Teen Vogue‘s Amy Astley, Mary Alice Stephenson, Mikki Taylor and even Martha Stewart! Naturally, the radiant faces of the brand were also in attendance, from iconic blonde beauty Carolyn Murphy, the sophisticated charmer Hilary Rhoda, to brand new spokeswomen Constance Jablonski, Liu Wen andJoan Smalls. MDC was behind the scenes of this special event to give you a birds eye view of the festivities.

Move over Linda, Christy, & Naomi, this is the new trio! My eye immediately goes to Joan in that campaign picture. I hope all three of these women have long lasting EL contracts while still having a fashion career(unlike Hilary Rhoda).

Perfect choice of girls. Theyre the perfect combination of high end editorials, campaigns, the top runway shows and of course an Estee Lauder contract. Also perfect representation of woman around the world.

a very good representation of different types of beauty. Joan really stands out! her body & face are both PERFECTION!!! totally in the super league. Hilary’s face is really stunning! hope native chinese can start to accept the typical Asian eyes & yellow toned skin. been doing some research about chinese perception of beauty and it’s soooo sad to see the native chinese all want to look like white ppl :(

best 3 girls, estee is really a foresight to future :) im so proud of liu wen, i hope in 2011 she will snag more major campaigns, she deserve it!! so pretty.. her smile always make u smile along as well ^^

Joan Smalls, Liu Wen, Hilary are genius… Im still not sold Constance…she has a star quality but its forgettable. She does’t have that it factor or personality that displays interest. As far as getting us know her. Constance is just typical beautiful model with no personality… like the current crop(girls) thats been on market. She looks amazing but I think i would choose a different Blondish type of girl maybe Anja Rubick or Current Lara Stone post eyebrows…

what trying to say follow iconic beauty Carolyn for the ESTEE brand, a girl has to bring her personality, intrigue, interesting, and be relatable. HILARY did it! I think Liu Wen brings in a beauty that needs be front and center for all of Asia to see and appreciate for thier diversity. I feel she will redefine what is beautiful in Asia culture and well as here. Lastly, there is JOAN SMALLS, who has this rare
“IT FACTOR”/energy that hasn’t truly been seen since Gisele “LAST TRUE SUPERMODEL” SHE IS VERY 90’S SUPERMODEL and gives us that. She has this energy that make you enjoy fashion yet what to know is the model equally! Cool thing that she presents not Blacks(of all ethnicities) but MOST IMPORTANTLY TO ME (BECAUSE I CAN SOMEONE TO RELATE TOO) LatinS THAT COMES FROM AN AFRICAN BACKGROUND….happy to see her and Arlenis Sosa changing the minds of not just people here in America but our own culture… that Black beautty in the Latin community is just as beautiful as the typical or stereotypical LATINO OR HISPANIC look we see daily…Most people forget there are alot of African /mixed Latins and dont have someone with darker skin representing us. So Estee and Lancome, thank u for seeing that… Now,can we get Darker Brazilians (like myself) to be an Ambassador for a Global beauty brand? hmmmmm Lais Riberio or even Gracie.Carvalho! BUT EITHER ESTEE LAUDER OR LANCOME NEED TO CHECK OUT MS.LAIS RIBERIO!!!

And I must say this: before Joan started get bigger, We aLL have waiting on a new Crop Supermodels like the ones in the 90’s. I’m not talking about a girl books editorials, campaigns and shows, like back 2 back.. like most this crop of the past 8 YEARS… Daria and Natalia couldn’t cross over in comes Victoria’s Secret re-create it for my generation…but didn’t really see them doing both. however, it did and still girls into household names… FASHION WAS LACKING THAT TYPE MODEL WHO COULD CROSSOVER HIGH-FASHION, VICTORIA’S SECRET, BEAUTY AD and still be intriguing to be people not into fashion but they know the name of the model.

I believe Joan Smalls brought that back and she walks like a supermodel…. Maybe, she is bringing back the REAL SUPERMODEL, like the days of Gisele. I feel like there are a few of girls/guys coming up like her that can re-establish the true meaning of a Supermodel, and not just be your typical fashion model.

Joan lets get a Victoria’s Sercet campaign and a either a Versace,Calvin Klein, Balenciaga or maybe Chanel campaign… while getting a spot in a LOUIS Vuitton ad to gurantee a supermodel can be re-born!

I couldnt agree more with the last three posts ^ well said. Joan is a supermodel. Victoria Secret needs to get Joan quickly!!! And why doesnt she have a solo cover yet?? That shouldve happened long ago. So many girls that no one ares about gets covers every month. Weird!!

Unfortunately with an EL contract, I am guessing there would be some contract conflict for Joan signing with VS. Lancome and VS were in a bidding war over Daria, and eventually Lancome got her. Look at Daria now, she is a top model! While it would be unlikely for Joan to have both, it would be a nice surprise. What I hope to see from Joan is all three big Vogue covers(US, Italia, Paris), more ads for EL, Gucci, Stella, Givenchy, Cavalli and Gap. I would also like to see future ads with JPG, YSL, Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, & Oscar de la Renta. I really see a supermodel too, and I hope the industry gives her the time they gave Liya, Alek, Tyra, & Naomi.

I disagree so much with that comment on constance with no personnality… X_X u probably never watched any video with the girl in it or u are just dumb! She just kills it! She has that aura around her like an ange. I rarely see girls shine like she does.
